Land For Rail Extension Secured

The Government has paved the way for an extension to a £16bn rail scheme running through London.
Last year, Prime Minister Gordon Brown finally gave the go-ahead for the Crossrail scheme which will see trains running from Maidenhead, Berkshire, through central London and as far east as Shenfield in Essex.
But it has now been revealed that the Government is safeguarding additional land between Maidenhead and the nearby Berkshire town of Reading.
Explaining that there are no plans at present to extend to Reading, rail minister Tom Harris said safeguarding the land would give "the flexibility to be able to extend Crossrail in the future, should there be a business case".
Mr Harris went on: "This safeguarding of the route would also protect the possibility of undertaking electrification works on the route to Reading, even without the extension of Crossrail. Again, this keeps this option available should a decision be taken to electrify the railway beyond Maidenhead."
